ProfKSergeev Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 (edited) Hi! I'm a new member that needs some help identifying parts for a "Star Trek" project. "But what does this have to do with mecha/Gundam?" you ask. Well, the character of Captain Picard had a model of his old command, the Stargazer, on display in his ready room aboard the Enterprise. The model was kitbashed by Rick Sternbach from Ertl Enterprise A's and several Japanese robot kits (including a 1/100 Battroid). I've been succesful in identifying most of the parts, with a few exceptions. Rick Sternbach had this to say about the two unidentified lumps: "[the] Gundam kit was molded in lime green and black, and had some kind of octopus tentacles" There is a distinct possibility, however, that the kit Mr. Sternbach was thinking of was in fact something from Ideon not Gundam. Any help in id'ing these parts will be much appreciated. Thanks! Edited August 3, 2009 by ProfKSergeev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Well... have you considered the possibility that they were custom made/ scratch built? The lump things in particular look like tehy could easily have been made with a modeling compound. I dont know or own enough kits to be able to help you otherwise.

Mule Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Might sound silly, but the ventral lumps might be from a makeup compact. Ya know those clamshell-like things with the makeup and a mirror inside? I could be totally wrong and probably am, but it is amazing what modelers can and do use.

Grayson72 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 They could also be the two halves from the Orgroid gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
